Christian Post:Constitution is more important than abortion

Sojourners has always been in vocal opposition to Trump.

Red Letter Christians has also come out in support of impeachment and more are signing onto their statement.

Doubtful. Skeptical me says that the evangelical churches are alarmed at the numbers of younger members they're hemmorhaging and trying to do some damage control.

Are Evangelicals part of this graph?  I see Catholics and Protestants.  I don't know much about Evangelicals in particular, other than they seem to be the group that singly helped Trump over the election hump. Are they losing members along with the Catholics, Protestants and other organized religions?

From a piece about the above...   (there may be an issue with names of the publications.  In the OP the link is for The Christian Post.  I am not sure it is the same as The Christian Post and the piece below.   Not nice to confuse an old lady here!!)

"When I was told this would be the position of the paper, of the news site, I said that's not something I can support," Napp Nazworth, who announced on Monday that he had resigned from The Christian Post, told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."

"We've never sounded like that before. That's not the types of positions we take in the past," Nazworth told CNN on Thursday, adding that his former employer's position on impeachment sounds like "some odd sort of conspiratorial thinking."

He also likened the Christian news website to the far-right website Breitbart, which is supportive of the President and his policies.

Nazworth brought up how the editors had all worked together previously on an anti-Trump editorial in 2016 with the headline "Donald Trump is a scam."

"We all agreed back then and understood who Donald Trump was," Nazworth said. "I didn't change my mind about Donald Trump, but some of the other editors did."

"I'm worried now that without me there, that, you know it will no longer be a place that presents the alternative view to team Trump and the evangelicals who support him," Nazworth said.

He added that he didn't want to leave.

"I warned them. If you go down this road and join team Trump, then that will destroy the reputation of The Christian Post," Nazworth said, adding, "We had reached the impasse and I really had no other choice but to leave."

Do I need to get my Bible out to check these passages?

No matter how hard the rightwing media is trying to spin the upcoming Evangelicals for Trump rally in Miami as a good thing, everyone outside the cult knows it’s a scream of panic. I can’t describe how desperate this all is: it would be like Hillary Clinton forced to hold a “Feminists for Hillary” rally. If you don’t have your base locked up by now, you are in real trouble. You can always sense Trump’s desperation by the quality and quantity of his tweets. (Lots of misspellings, strange capitalization, tons of retweets, and healthy doses of “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”)

No matter how many affairs or divorces he’s had, no matter his extensive history of scamming the poor and elderly, and no matter how many charities he’s stolen from, they believe that he’s divinely sent. Alleged sexual assault, adultery with porn stars, pornography, profanity, extreme greed, corruption, and worst of all, the sociopathic inability to ask for forgiveness—a core tenet of Christianity—are the qualities God apparently looks for in picking a prophet now. Trump is essentially David Koresh, and the duped evangelicals are the Branch Davidians. It’s so painfully obvious to everyone who’s not sucked into this cult.

I can’t argue logic with them, although it’s fun to try. When they tell me I shouldn't ever question our “ruler,” I remind them that they never said that when Obama was president—and his victory was unquestionably legitimate. Using their stupid logic, you would have to also admit that the Founding Fathers were all sinners for revolting against King George. He was not just the ruler, but Great Britain decreed that all of their kings spoke for God.

No, the argument I use with them isn’t logic, but religion. When they tell me that they believe Trump is divinely inspired, or even “the Chosen One”—and they do—I agree with them. However, the Bible speaks of the Chosen One in two contexts. The first is the Messiah. But there is another, which is prophesized by several of the apostles in the New Testament.

There will be a “man of sin” who is such a “wicked liar” that he will deceive millions of followers that he is a prophet, and will declare himself sent by heaven. He will declare himself a “Chosen One,” but he will be the opposite of Christ.

Trump shares claim he is 'heaven sent' and suggests Obama 'kicked Je…
Donald Trump has promoted a post claiming he is “heaven sent” and suggesting Barack Obama “kicked” Jesus out of the US in a string of tweets just days after Christmas.

The Book of Revelation speaks of people who claim to be followers of Christ being deceived into accepting a twisted version of Christianity—one that directly opposes the teaches of the true Savior. The Prosperity Gospel preaches that the rich are blessed and the poor are condemned. This is completely at odds with every book of the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of the evils of excess wealth. Jesus is Lord, and he was born poor and died poor. He never said one word on abortion or homosexuality, two things that existed in his time period, but he darn sure said a lot about materialism and greed.

The Apostle John wrote about this “false prophet” at the end of time. In 1 John 4, he says it’s easy to tell that a prophet is fake as he won’t acknowledge Jesus or his teachings. That sounds a bit familiar. Trump is the antithesis of everything Jesus has preached—love they neighbor, help the poor, be humble and seek forgiveness. Trump can’t even name a single bible passage and refuses to learn.

The false “Chosen One” is prophesied to come before Jesus returns, and the Bible helpfully gives many character descriptions.

*In 2 Thessalonians, it describes a “man of lawlessness” who believes he is above the law. It also says he will repeatedly exalt himself, and proclaim himself a prophet.

*In 2 Timothy, it describes the false prophet as not telling his followers the truth, but telling them what their “itching ears want to hear” (It’s OK—even good—to hate.)

*In Revelation 13, it describes the pure evil as having the “mouth of a lion” and the “temperament of a dragon.” He will attract “worldwide attention,” and his followers will scream that no one is like him and that no one can challenge him.

*In 9 Daniel, he promises to be Israel’s savior, but it will be a lie

I’m not saying Donald Trump is the anti-Christ. All I’m saying is if you are going to argue with me that Donald is the Chosen One, I am just going to agree with you—but not the one you’re thinking of. Donald Trump is no messiah, but the Book you claim to love certainly nails down Donald perfectly, no? How about instead of “Read the Transcript,” you “Read the Bible”? I’d be happy if you actually read just one of those.

By the way, if you do ever decide to crack open that Book, might I recommend one more passage? Jeremiah 22:3

This is what the LORD says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been oppressed. Do no wrong or mistreat the foreigner, the refugee or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
